Many things can be twisted with stats. For example, in California you have many homes with massive amounts of HELOCs/Home Loans. However, many times these were added during the mania. Yet when a sale is recorded on this foreclosure, that added equity is not added into the equation. For example, today we highlight a home in a very prime area that sold in 2005 for $634,000 and has a pending sale at $399,000. However, it also has a home equity loan of nearly $80,000. Yet when the Case Shiller new sale is recorded it will only measure against the $634,000 price and pretend that home loan never happened (at some point some bank value the place over $700,000+ to make that loan)
